NewsGator/MarsEdit/FeedBurner Interaction Issue?
I’m seeing that NewGator (which provides the synchronization server for FeedDemon) isn’t showing new content since I started trying MarsEdit.
MarsEdit pings the blog ping servers when I post that the content has updated, but I’m wondering if there’s a disconnect because I use FeedBurner to provide the actual RSS file (so I get some stats).
Here’s what I see happening.
- I post, my local RSS feed updates.
- FeedBurner picks that up at some point later.
- The RSS readers pull my feed which is actually redirected to FeedBurner.
At point (1) MarsEdit does the ping to NewsGator, but as the content in the RSS feed hasn’t changed yet, I think NewsGator thinks it’s just a spurious ping and doesn’t check again.
I think I need to have MarsEdit just ping FeedBurner, and let them ping everyone else once they’ve updated their copy of the feed.
Anyhow, that’s what I’m trying with this post. Let’s see if it works.
Update: That seemed to do the trick. Configure MarsEdit to ping FeedBurner, and configure FeedBurner to ping everybody else.

Steve, that is some hat you have on in your corner photo. I can honestly say it is a one of a kind.
Let us know how this test goes for you. I think you've determined precisely what's going on, but curious to hear the results.
Dick - The appears to have done the trick.
